Customized Extensometers

Sometimes the test requires a customized version of one of our extensometers or COD gages. If you have special requirements and do not see it in our catalog, please contact us to discuss your application.

How Epsilon can help

38 EXTENSOMETER MODELS are available in many thousands of variations. Our focus on helping customers has led to the development of models to cover nearly any test method.

Operation of these, and all of Epsilon’s extensometers, are

VERIFIED TO APPLICABLE STANDARDS SUCH AS ASTM E83 OR ISO 9513

using in-house calibration systems that are calibrated with Epsilon’s laser interferometer system.

WITH EPSILON’S 20+ YEAR HISTORY OF SERVICE

to the materials testing community, you know we will be there to stand behind our products when your critical application requires it.

Extensometers for composites compression testing. Models 3542 and 3442 extensometers can be furnished to clip directly onto composites compression fixtures, such as for ASTM D695. These use specially made Quick Attach Kit arms for the customer’s fixture. Consult the factory for specifics. See also the Model 3442 Miniature Extensometer.
